PGY-4 Resident Rotations

Unless otherwise specified, each rotation lasts for seven or eight weeks:

• Clinic: Bellevue
• Obstetrics: Bellevue
• Gynecology: Bellevue
• Gynecology: Woodhull (four weeks)
• Benign Gynecology: Tisch
• Gynecologic Oncology: Tisch (four weeks)
• Obstetrics/Gynecology (Nights): Bellevue
• Elective (four weeks)
• Vacation (four weeks)

During the chief year, residents run their individual services and have a teaching responsibility toward their junior residents and the medical students. Training in the gynecologic subspecialty fields (oncology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery) is included in all of the gynecology rotations throughout the course of the residency. Residents perform a wide range of operative procedures and generally graduate the program with a vast array of surgical skills.

Throughout the entire residency, continuity clinics provide the residents with the ability to care for their own panel of patients in an ongoing fashion. Residents are assigned a one half-day session each week to develop their own "practice" of patients covering the full range of diagnoses seen in the field. It is expected that the housestaff will provide care for the overall health of the patient, including preventive medicine, general medical conditions, family planning, prenatal, obstetrical, postpartum, and gynecological care.

The training program at New York University provides a broad education in obstetrics and gynecology and primary women's health care. It is a rigorous endeavor; one that will result in a competently trained physician, capable of functioning in any realm: primary care/general obstetrics and gynecology, subspecialization or academia.
